Guest Reviews

• Paolo (8/5): -
• Lucas (3/5): Ok, aber nicht zu empfehlen - Ausstattung ist okay Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig, würde behaupten Bettwäsche wurde nicht frisch bezogen
• HESHAM (4/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): Great stay, owners so helpful when needed ! Would definitely recommend it to others - Good location and the space was great !! Nothing
• Kim (6/5): Bien situé, mais très peu d’équipements dans la cuisine, pas de sac de poubelles de rechange, mais l’odeur de la moisiss - La proximité de la ville L’odeur de l’humidité et moisissure.
• HENAR (8/5): Muy bien para ser Londres - Apartamento amplio y cómodo. Muy bien situado. Estuvimos 4 noches. Eramos 6 personas. Hay dos dormitorios dobles, uno sencillo y el sofácama del salón. Para acceder al dormitorio sencillo se hace a través de uno doble. Para ser Londres estaba limpio. Pero si no eres de aquella zona vas a notar que le vendría bien una limpieza profunda. Además no hay persianas ni forma de oscurecer las ventanas, cosa que no importa si vas a madrugar para hacer turismo. La comunicación con el anfitrión fue mediante mensajes. Las llaves te las dejan en una caja bajo contraseña. Los anteriores hospedados dejaron leche abierta, queso abierto y alguna cosa más en la nevera... no olía pero no nos pareció muy higiénico que no se hubiera tirado. Hay televisión pero no cable. Es SmartTv asi que puedes iniciar tus sesiones en plataformas pero no se puede ver la tele convencional. El barrio es tranquilo.
• Mary (8/5): Spacious, comfortable London flat, in quiet neighborhood. - Location was very good! Spacious, comfortable apartment! Very quiet, safe neighborhood. Easy to get all over London from here via transit. We had everything we needed for the very limited cooking we were doing. A few more kitchen items would be nice, like tea towels, a few more cooking utensils.... Really great kitchen tho!!
• Victoria (4/5): Disappointing - needs a good clean, new linen/ towels and accurate description of bedrooms. - Location was excellent wifi was very good Washing machine and dryer worked well Ample tea and coffee sachets available It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for quite some time. Dust in corners of rooms and on skirting boards Kitchen sink grubby, old USED sink scouter/ sponge and mouldy scrubbing brush, no tea towel. Dishwasher smelt like it hadn’t been run for some time - ran it - empty and washed all the dishes Laundry grimey and dusty Dining Table grimey and sticky and left black on the sponge after wiping Advertised as a 3 bedroom but it’s more like 2 bedroom with an extra single bed behind a sliding door accessed from bedroom two (with a shared shared door to the rest of the apartment) - passable since we were a family but not as advertised Bathroom 2 seems grimey and in need a of scrub - we opted against using the shower after first use. Towels and bedding could do with a refresh. Disappointed to be giving such a negative review - should be better. Just Needs a good clean and accurate description of bedrooms. After this would score the apartment much higher given location and amenities (wifi, 2 bedroom, laundry, kitchen, dining, lounge).
• Jane (8/5): Very good -
• Sophie (8/5): Great host house fine for what we needed - Great communication with owner who allowed us to check in early. The showers needed attention as not really working as they should.
• Schmidt (7/5): Good - Great location!! Nice inside. The site needs new mattress, and the shower needs to be fixed! The kitchen needs the basic spices and some oil.
• Alana (7/5): Short family stay - The location, accessible by all means of transport. It was close to all the needed amenities: restaurants, shops, minimart, fast food. It was not very far from tourist attractions. The showers: the shower wand in the master bedroom was too short so we were unable to raise it above head level. The shower wand in the stand-alone bathroom was very slack. The fact that the entrance to the 3rd bedroom was by going through another one of the bedrooms. This is not feasible if it is not only family members staying at the place.
• Grazia (8/5): Very good - The property is located in a really nice neighborhood and it’s close to Gloucester road Tube station, which made moving between streets really easy. Communication with the owner was good, even tough not immediate, but we didn’t have any particular problems. It’s wasn’t the dirtiest place we visited but it surely wasn’t the cleanest. When we arrived we found behind the sofa some used tissues. Some sheets even had stains as well as the table which was also kind of sticky. Also, the cutlery smelled a lot like onions and the pots were rusty and dirty. In general, the apartment appeared clean at first, but then we realized that dust was just moved to places where we couldn’t immediately see it. This aspect definitely needs to be improved.
• John (9/5): Very convenient, in terms of property owner communication , its the best flat I ever stayed in London. - The flat is fully furnished, apart to you need to supply for the kitchen, like dish washer, dish cloth or if you want to use the dishwasher, buy your own soap, bin bags too. But apart from the supply, you got all the basics which was very convenient. The beds were comfortable. The toilets were good apart from the one toilet tank that continuously flowing but you could turned off the valve underneath. Internet and tv were perfect. It was very spacious for a big family. Overall, I will still recommend it. Perfect for the location, near shops, subway and bus stations. No major fault.
• Forrester (10/5): Exceptional - The flat was perfect Nothing to dislike
• Marianne (7/5): Would definitely stay again - Fantastic location - beautiful, safe & quiet neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants, shops and grocery stores and short walk to Gloucester Road Tube Station. Large & spacious property, very comfortable, light and airy. Two bathrooms. Communication with owner was fine and instructions for check in provided as promised the day before were easy to understand. Would stay again. Apartment was not ready upon arrival after designated check in time at 1520. Cleaner told us to come back in an hour. We returned at 1630 and she was still mopping floors. Sleeper sofa was inoperable but we didn't discover this until going to bed at 2am so were unable to ask for assistance. No instruction book for appliances, WiFi code, or local info which would have been helpful. No toiletries provided other than hand soap, which is odd. I've never stayed anywhere which doesn't provide the bare essentials. No hairdryer. Two rooms (double & single) connect which wasn't apparent on the description or photos. Not a problem for us, but might be an issue for some groups.
• Castiñeiras (7/5): It was good - Location is the best Cleaning
• Fran (5/5): Great location but cleanliness and facilities below par. - Its location The toilet leaked, the dishwasher was faulty and we couldn't use the shower or bath in one bathroom because you could not regulate the water temperature!
• Rana (8/5): Very good -
• Karen (8/5): It did what we wanted: supplied large, warm accommodation in central London. - Great location and flat is large and spacious. No house directory/instructions. Found it difficult to get the hobb to work. No instructions of recycling arrangements. Needed more info on wifi. Recommend host leaves a house instruction booklet.
• Tara (8/5): Lovely stay- just what we needed, so much better than a hotel and close to the Royal Brompton - Lovely Kensington apartment- just what we needed the night before my daughters hospital appointment
• Aidan (5/5): Lovely location and building but needs improving to be lovely all round - The location, character of the property and temperature was great. The property needs some care put into it. Water marks from old leaks, mould around the bath, the bath shower was scolding hot as the temp adjustment is not working properly. There is a lot of dust on the tv unit and on other services. While it had clearly been cleaned, the property didn’t feel overly clean during the stay.
• Deep (1/5): SPOILED ALL DAY - nothing wasteage of money
• Hannah (9/5): Perfect place to stay with friends, great alternative to having hotel room - Very nice apartment, 2 double room with a single room off one of the doubles. Supplied essentials such as hand soap, tea and coffee (no sugar or milk). Plenty of bedding, plenty of space. Less than 10 min walk to tube station No other toiletries other than hand soap. Would have found a hair dyer helpful
• Kristin (3/5): disappointing and cold - Location is good and nice restaurants around. It looked ok on photos but it was very dirty - and nothing had been cleaned when we arrived. Bedding dirty and everything filthy. The owner sent someone over to clean but it was obviously done such a hurry that we weren't even sure that she changed the beds. Everything sticky and not nice - the worst thing was giant black mould spots above the master bed so we didn't sleep there. And there was no heating :(
• Sofia (6/5): Great location, bad communication - The place has an incredible location and a good living room space. There are two bathrooms available and the place has overall a cozy feeling. The rooms were kind of not ideal for us because two of them are connected, as in, separated by a tiny door inside the same space but that could work for other people. The owners were not nice at all though as they stopped replying to us one day before arrival and never replied again to our messages besides us needing assistance with some things. Very unprofessional.
• Natasha (5/5): Student like accommodation in a posh neighbourhood! - The location was fantastic and the communication was brilliant. The contact was responsive and very accommodating and allowed us to leave our bags at the flat prior to check in. I also asked whether we could leave our bags following check out and whilst this wasn’t permitted, the contact was extremely helpful and friendly. It’s hard to gauge the state of the property via the pictures until you’re in there. It’s quite shabby and you don’t really get that from the images. It’s also not the cleanest. I took one picture simply because I dropped something and realised how filthy the flat actually is. I note that the host has responded to a previous review saying that it had been cleaned but I think this refers to a superficial clean. So whilst bins are clean and the dusting has been done, the flat needs a good deep clean. The bed sheets had been washed but the pillows, duvets and mattresses need replacing as have a musty smell. The showers in one of the bathrooms has really poor flow. There was no information pack when we got there which would have been helpful for getting connected to the wi-fi at the very least and also information about the heating. But you’re left to figure it all out. With some decent investment and TLC this could be a fantastic property.
